MINING AND MILLING FOR S2.s4,
RebelliOus Low.grade Ore Worked to q
Good Profit.

Chicago Mining Rsvisw.l
The cheapest worked mine in the
world, perhaps, is the Zeile mill, in
Amador county, Californis. Under
the same conditions we have record
equal to the following data, taken
from the books Of the Company:
The mill has 40 stamps, each crush
ing 81 tons per "a hours, making
1888 tons per day, or 1896 tons
per month of 70 days. The ore carries
~ per cent. in sulphurets. Free gold
per ION saved in mill, $3.50. Value
of concentrates saved and worked by
colonization, 81 so. Total, 81 per
ton. Actual cost Of working (min.
ing and milling) $2.s4, leaving a
profit Of SIG per ton. The gross
product of the mill is $4,000 per
month. which gives dividend, above
all expenses, of 81 900 per month.
The vein is from 10 to so feet be.
tween walls, from which one third Of
the ore taken is selected and sent to
the mill, and tho remainder is left at
the mine.
The mine is situated on the North
ern lode, two miles from Jackson, and
has been a producer for more than 20
years. The principal value, as will ne
seen by the data submitted, is in the
sui phure,s, which require concentra
ton, and the concentrates worked bv
the chlorination process at an expense
of IS so per ton. The mine is tim
hered with square sets Water is
used for a motive power, at a cost of
20 cents per miners inch.
The management is certainly emit
tied to a great deal of credit for its
systematic and economical work. This
fully demonstrates the fact that low
grade ore, no matter how rehellious,
can be made to pay profit when
properly handled.

Phrases Nisapplied.

Portland Oregopian)
General Francis A. Walker, in the
November Scrihner, objects to max.
ing class distinctions among our peo-
pie 10y designating certain members
OF society as 'belonging to the work
ing classes and he says it has been
suggested to him that correction of
our speech in this regard would near.
ly, if not quite, remove all our labor
troubles and restore industrial peace.
Upon this the Philadelphia Ledger
sensibly remarks that while it may be
strongly doubted whether the eimi-
nation OF mere phrase would have
any such important result, it cannot
be questioned that the term working
people" should be general, and not
specific, in its application to citizens
Of this country.
Our people are, in fact, with but
rare exceptions, working people, or
with still rsrer exceptions, or none at
all, the near descendants Of working
people. In all professions and call
ings we all work for our living; and
though fortunes are inherited among
Us, none OF them can be traced back
to the gifts of kings or kingdoms;
they can be retraced only to some
shrewd ancestor with thrift and in
dustry. They represent no royal ia.
vor, as so many do abroad, but rather
the results of the labors of working
men.
General Walker is quite right in
surprising that the phrase working
peoples" which has grown so common
in its exclusive application to one sort
of workers, is not only invidious to
them, but unjust to other classes Of
men and women who work with equal
diligence. The suggestion of the
Yankee poet to the effect that-"Y
family thread you'd best not ascend.
lest you find it waxed at the farther
end"-is excellent, and should be
without ofense to all Americans who
are familiar with the world they live
in, and especially with the histories Of
those about them who, because of
their industry, enterprise, thrift, and
prohitv, are really the props and pill
lars not only of society, but of the
State.

THE "DIvISIONISTsv WON.

The Debate on "Annexation of North
Idaho to Washington" Awarded to
the Affirmative.
The HALEY Literary Society's de-
bate, at the library room of the school
house, Wednesday evening, drew a
large audience, whs were repaid by
hearing the livelies,, wittiest, and
most spirited discussion yet given by
the society. The question was: Re
solved, That North Idaho should be
annexed to Washington Territory.
Speakers in the affirmative were
Messrs. Harrington and Duniway and
Miss Sadie Bledsoe 4; in the negative,
Messrs Fulcomer, Garbutt, Jones and
Miss Wines. The affirmative speak
ers were aggressive, made forcible
statements OF the reasons underlying
the North Idaho movement for divis
ion, and were apt in sa,irizing the
arguments and statistics of the mega
tive debaters, who made good pres
entation of their side of the case, bu,
failed to stem the Alternatives tide of
witticism and ridicule. The decision
of the judyes-Alanson Smith, Mrs.
.. K. Young, and Professor Miner
was in favor Of the affirmative; Mr.
Smith dissenting.
Next Wednesday evening the third
'miscellaneous program" of the society
will be rendered. It will compris.
music, essays, readings and declam a.
tions, with the addition of a question
box, from which queries will be drawn
and members selected to answer be
fore they are read. If a member can
not answer a question, he or she will
be given until the next meeting to
look the matter up.

The Store TO Reopen Shortly.
NJ. II. Lipman's clothing store, in
the new Merchants Hotel, in this city,
closed its doors yesterday, on the re-
c,ipt of telegram announcing the
assignment of the parent house in
Salt Lake City. A placard was pu,
in one of the windows, with the in-
scription, "Josiah Barnett, assignee. :"
This is the only notice at the store.
Mr.. Barnett being cashier Of the
Salt Lake bank of w. S. Mccormick
u Co., lines reporter applied at
the bank here for further information.
Mr.. Burkett said all he knew about it
was that yesterday he received a tele-
gram from Salt Lake, advising him Of
the assignment, and directing him to
put Z. J. Selwyn, accountant of the
bank here, in charge of the store.
Which was done.
The house here only opened two
months ago, and has done u good,
even big business. The failure
cannot, therefore, have been brought
about by the dulness Of trade on
Wood River.
1t is confidently expected tina, Mr..
llpman will resume business in his
own name within 80 days, as he is not
believed to be hopelessly involved.

hwestern Lumberman,

Northwestern Lumberman.
The movement Of lumber from Lake
Charles, Caleasieu parish, La, is seri-
ously hampered by as carcity of cars, a
trouble which occurs there periodically,
The mill men are beginning to think
that the Texas kind of law is needed
in Louisiana, which makes it misde-
meanor, with a penalty attached, for a
railroad to impede the commerce Of
any point by willful failure to furnish
required transportation facilities. Why
railroads should follow this policy is
one of the things for which it Is diff
cult to find satisfactory reason. A
railroad is built TO do business and
make money and to extend its lines and
facilities by the expansion of traffic,
and when, after showing a certain do
gree of enterprise, a railroad works up
a good business at certain points along
its line, it seems absurd that it should
be suddenly allowed to 60 by default
or left to shift for itself, Besides the
obligations of a road as a public carrier,
it is the worst kind of business man
agemont, Nothing IS more apparent
than that for a point to increase Its
business, OF even hold its own, there
must be every facility in favor of
prompt shipment of orders. Delays
often loses business for both the ship
per and the railroad. If there is money
in railroads at all, there is certainly
money in attending faithfully to the
business that offers and does not have
to be drummed up by various details
of expense. If the traffic of a road
has outgrown its capacity entirely, ther
it is time for increasing the equipment
Independent conduct on the part of g
road at time of booming business
makes a poor outlook for dull times
The badly treated shipper will ther
cast about for some other concern tx
do business with, and may seek a new
stamping ground.

During a long storm persons who

change Of weather when the moon
changes. Nasmyth and Carpenter
characterize as a popular error IN ITS

the theory is untenable unless it ap-
plies to every case, and unless the same
